I've gotten to know some of my fellow goofballs *smooches delia and giggles* more through chatting that i would have just from the forums. Started chatting about trivial stuff, did a bit of playing, and as I started figuring out who was who, and some of their personal quirks, it was easier to start up more in depth conversations. I'm not saying this can't be done on the forums as well, but PM chasing takes more time than the instant back and forth messaging.

Be yourself when you come in. Join in the main conversation, ask questions, and have fun. (while minding all the rules)
